FRANKFORT, Ky - Independent colleges in Kentucky and their students, faculty and staff will soon have an opportunity to lower their wireless bills thanks to a new business partnership between AT&T Mobility and the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU).

AIKCU recently finalized an AT&T College and University Advantage Agreement (CAU) on behalf of its 20 member colleges and universities. The agreement provides each participating institution significant discounts on eligible mobile voice and data plans: a 20 percent discount to campuses for institutional use plans, a 15 percent discount for faculty and staff on personal plans, and an 8 percent discount for students.

“We’re delighted to partner with AT&T Mobility to bring this savings opportunity to our campuses,” said Gary S. Cox, AIKCU President. “We live in a mobile world, and we see this partnership as a great opportunity for our members to benefit from the collective strength of the association. In economic times like these it’s more important than ever that we help our members and their faculty, staff, and students contain costs and maximize their buying power.”

This AT&T Mobility partnership is the latest in an extensive list of AIKCU business partnerships designed to help member institutions contain costs. Like all of the AIKCU partnerships, campus participation in the AT&T Mobility program is strictly voluntary. AIKCU campuses must sign a participation agreement in order to enroll in this new AIKCU-AT&T Mobility discount program. AT&T will provide a dedicated account representative to help campuses launch and promote the program at the institutional level.

Other AIKCU business partnerships cover fuel purchasing, office products, liability insurance, health insurance, printing services, library resources, textbooks, and a wide range of technology products and services, among other things.
